The start of a new school year is a great time to refresh knowledge and revisit best practices in preparation for the diverse religious and cultural perspectives that medical providers encounter in clinical settings, classrooms, and other health care environments.
Tanenbaum’s Trigger Topic Fact Sheets offer a practical way to do just that. These free, bite-sized resources help health care providers better understand how religion and culture can influence medical decision-making and patient care. The 15 Fact Sheets cover topics ranging from dietary requirements and informed consent to reproductive health, proselytizing, and more. Each Fact Sheet includes three different case studies along with questions to ask patients.
Whether you’re an educator preparing for the new semester, a student beginning clinical training, or a provider looking to strengthen your skillset, these resources are a valuable addition to your toolkit. Start the school year equipped to ask better questions, build greater understanding, and provide respectful care to patients from all backgrounds.
